Hammers track German U21 striker

|

davieWest Ham are tracking RB Leipzig striker Davie Selke according to Sky Sports.

The Germany U21 international has been linked with a move away from Leipzig, who sit second in the Bundesliga, after finding his first-team opportunities limited this season.

Selke has scored two goals this season but rr-lowhas only started one game for Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side making nine substitute appearances. His father has told Sky Germany: “I will not comment on any of these inquiries, but one thing is clear: we want to see a way and a perspective for Davie.His current situation [not playing] must not be a permanent state. The situation is not satisfactory and this is also the responsibility of RB Leipzig”.

Selke dropped down a division to join Leipzig from Werder Bremen in the summer of 2015 for a then-German second tier record fee of €8m (£6.8m).

Considering interest from fellow Premier league teams Leicester and Stoke and Bilic’s confirmation that buying British with Premier League experience will be the priority we give this rumour a low rating of having any real substance.
